Students: Please charge your iPad in preparation for the first day back to school tomorrow.
The Tech Dept will soon begin the process of issuing new 10th generation iPads to students (starting with high school students). Please make sure you have completed an iCloud backup so you dont lose any important schoolwork that might not be saved to your OneDrive.
Wishing all of our students, staff, and their families a very Merry Christmas!

8th grade watched Narnia: The Musical at the Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre in Morgantown on 12/20.
